Motivation…
A way to meet Net Gen student expectations Attractive alternative
to Face2Face instruction
A good match for the Net Gen’s visual, exploratory, participative learning preferences
Usually more work to design (at least at the beginning), but improved student engagement and achievement
The best of both worlds

The Optimal ModelTeaching Opportunities
Allows for many diverse solutions to course problems
Enables the incorporation of new types of interactive and independent learning activities
Variety of online and in-class teaching strategies
Learn technologies while you learn your material
Student Engagement
Potential to increase and extend instructor-student and student-student connectivity
Discussions started in class may be continued online
Students who rarely take part in class discussions are more likely to participate online
Integration of out-of- and in-class activities allows more effective use of traditional class time

Faculty report that students…
Learned more Wrote better papers Performed better on exams Produced higher quality
projects Were capable of more
meaningful discussions on course material
Were better able to master concepts and apply what they have learned
Developed higher-order skills of critical thinking, problem-solving, and the ability to apply theoretical models to real-world data

The Sloan-C Definition
What is Sloan-C? Blended learning courses combine online and
classroom learning activities and resources in an optimal way to improve student learning outcomes and to address important institutional issues.
Classroom attendance (“seat time”) is reduced.

More on definitions…
What you call it is not important; but a defined and consistent model is
Blended learning as an optimized pedagogical approach, rather than an arbitrary time division between online and F2F

New Skills: Rethinking Course Design
To develop a successful blended course instructors must Re-examine their course goals and
objectives, Design online learning activities to
meet these goals and objectives, and
Effectively integrate the online activities with the face-to face meetings
Make transition from lectures and presentation to a more student-centered active learning
![Page 21: Blended by Design: Designing and Developing a Blended Course](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081511/56815ee7550346895dcd925b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
New Skills: Rethinking the Course
Facilitate online discussions and small group activities
New forms of assessment of student
Scheduling and communication challenges as courses meet online and face-to-face
Work overload for faculty and students
Students need understand their active role in the learning environment

Why (re)design into blended?
Ensures your design facilitates your course Engage students in dynamic and vital communities Students take more responsibility for content and
learning Students learn through active participation and
inquiry

5 Principles of Successful Course Redesign
1. Redesign the whole course.2. Encourage active learning.3. Provide students with
individualized assistance.4. Build in ongoing assessment
and prompt feedback.5. Ensure sufficient time on task
and monitor student progress.http://thencat.org/PlanRes/R2R_PrinCR.htm

4 Basic Redesign Steps
1. Identify course content for a module
2. Write learning objectives and develop instructional modules
3. Select course (re) design strategies: determining which strategy is most appropriate for your course
4. Integrate course content activities in classroom and online environments: determining what is best suited in either the online or classroom environment
![Page 28: Blended by Design: Designing and Developing a Blended Course](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081511/56815ee7550346895dcd925b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Why Objectives? Clear statement of
what students will be able to do when they are finished with an instructional component
Focuses on student performance
Provides structure: beginning, middle, and end
What are the core concepts your students must learn for each module? What do they need
to know? What do they need
to be able to do? What will they
know as a result of my instruction?

Support Objectives by
Integrating learning technologies Classroom technologies Emerging technologies Online resources
Developing diverse assessment techniques
Infusing active learning, interaction, and peer engagement

Why Modules? Easier to find course content Support consistency Allows students to focus on content rather
than form Content becomes manageable Prevents information overload “7 +/-2 rule”

Mapping Your Course Handout: Mapping your Course Map out your face-2-face course from the
syllabus and/or other course documents Identify the chunks in your course via the
topics or learning objectives in your syllabus Select one chunk to work with during the
week
